Multi SMS ?

Is there a program or a way to send sms to multiple contacts or grouped contacts with qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard)?
is it possible with poketinformant?
WM5 doesn't support this option that was supported by windows MObile 2003...
Please help

There MUST be a way to send an sms to more than one person. We had this feature 1000 phones ago so it must be there.

What are you kidding? Simple!
Put your cursor in the "To:" box and click menu (right soft button) and Add Recipient.
Select the name. Repeat as needed for as many contacts as you want.
Alternatively add the numbers manually seperated by a ; just like you would in an Email.

sorry! what i need is a group sending... with my old magician i select in one shot ten or more contacts then i sent my sms. now with newest 9100 i must select contact one by one :-( :-(

I don't know of any program to do this, but it would be easy to store lists of names in a note then copy and paste them into the TO section as and when. Not exactly 'group sending' at its best but does the job...

Hi,
I need too... Is great for Christmas and New Year!
Idea is write sms and then select multiple recipients from contacts in one shot (by active each contact).
Anybody know?
Thanks

Visual IT are bring out an upgrade to their Simply SMS
This will allow users to send an sms to a group of people grouped under a category.
here's the link, keep an eye out for it in the new year.

Hi, Peteborota,
Thanks, but not work with a PDA phone (Qtek 9100) and with WM5!
Searching....

I use TapText by Dinarsoft for occasions like this. Like Hazymat said, but instead of using notepad, i use taptext to store groups of emails. Tap on TapText icon on the top bar to access.
Works with Wisbar Advanced running too. You got to deactivate program icon and make an icon in WA2 to activate TapText. Works really well with WM5. But storing group emails are part of it, i use it to store anything which i need to use frequently. It is commercialware tho.

ARP they will be releasing a WM5 version in the new year
Spoke to their support desk, they hope to release early jan.
Book mark the site and keep looking.
Cheers.

Thanks Swampy, TapText is great!
But I need a app that can send an SMS to many recipients by hightlight each one, in one shot.
Anybody know one?

multiple SMS/MMS recipients

Does anyone know of a quick way to select multiple SMS/MMS recipients (instead of having to insert each contact individually) under Windows Mobile 2003 for Smartphones (2nd edition)? I’m fairly certain this can’t be done through the OS itself and so I’m assuming some third-party software will be required (this is fine).
Symbian Series 60 implements this perfectly. When composing an SMS/MMS it presents your contact list and allows you to check off those whom you want to receive the message. Then, after you’ve chosen those recipients, it walks you through all of them and if a contact has more than one number it presents you with those numbers and lets you choose which to use. The entire process is very fluid and you get the sense that there isn’t a more efficient way to go about it. Indeed, I couldn’t come up with a faster method (though the ability to specify a “default” message number would obviate the need to choose which number to use).

Hi!
I've made a small application that sends SMS messages to the Outlook groups. I can make a new version where you can choose what ever contacts you want...I'll keep you posted....

Can you please test this and give me some feedback on how it works.........? I've only tested it on a HTC Artemis.

How do you add a group?

Google for mcc Mass message

I'm using the build in "Categories" in Outlook.
Open a Contact and edit it.
Browse down to the "Categories"
Create a new Category.

Works great! I've tested it on a HTC Artemis.

Works great on Qtek S200. Thanks.

Works very well on Universal (o2 exec). Will it be possible to have a scroll bar in the contact list. Presently it scrolls only with the down key not a major issue though.

On my Artemis I've got a horisontal scrollbar at the bottom. On WM 5.0 Pocket PC's you can also use the left\right arrow keys. You can also browse the contacts with the keyboard keys...
Try downloading the nevest version, I believe I fixed the scrollbar issue in v1.3.

Thanks a lot. Please keep up the good work!

Great little app! Now I can notify my complete mailing list with text messages as well

I have threaded SMS application. Would there be a conflict if I installed this program??
Thanks
Ammar

Never tried the "threaded SMS" application so I don't know the answer to your question...
All GroupSMS does is to start the buildt in messaging application and set multiple receivers in the "To" field.
Øystein

Just installed and looks good. One question.... Any way you can add a counter on the number of recipients selected?
Thanks for a great util!

Why wont anyone answer this question??? SMS Problem!

Ive seen this question asked several times during my search for the answer, but no one ever replies to it....
Since the upgrade WM6, the Reciepients name in the "to:" field within any new message will not auto complete...
I always have to fill in the number, or their name and select 'Check Names' in the menu and then choose my selection.
PLEASE will SOMEONE tell me the reg entry i need to alter, or the cab i need to (re)install to fix this chink in my BA's armour....
Many thanks in advance.

No one has answered this question cause probably no one has faced this problem after upgrading to WM6. I just now checked by creating new Text Message and when I hit at "To:", it opens up my contact list and I can pickup any number.

I know others have faced this problem 'cos several other people are asking for soloutions to the exact same issue, they just never recieved replies...
Also, yes mine works when i click the 'to:' button aswell, but it should predict the recipients name as you type it.
there are users on several platforms, not just BA, running WM6 roms with this exact same issue...
C'mon guys, PLEASE HELP!
Dickie

May be I dont understand your question!!
When I type "a" in the space, list of all names starting with 'a' opens up and gets shorter and shorter as I type more letters. What else do you expect it to do?

This is EXACTLY whats not working! this 'auto complete' function has stopped since the WM6 upgrade...

hey, i got the same issue also..
when i typed "A" in the recipient it dont auto complete with "a" contacts.
my solution is :-> type "a+space" then delete the space, the auto complete will come out with the "a" contact listings. hope it helps.. =D

I have always found it faster just to click on the to button and let that do the auto complete. I seem to always select the wrong contact with the auto complete in the actual message.

do you have other then English language support on your device?
I have Hebrew support, I have to type the first two letters and delete the last one -> then it source according to the first letter

SMS works fine for me but MMS doesn't do the predictive contact call up and it is a pain in the arse.
Not a big problem but a pain in the arse nonetheless.

did you install "htc dual keyboard + keypad". I installed this app, and the predictive contact search stop working on sms. After uninstallation, its working again.
as with mms, i dont think it has ever worked since 2003SE. you have to click "to:" and search within the contact list.

the answer to your proplem is :
this is because the contact are not stored in your PIM database, but on the SIM card, that is why they are not predicable but they can be accessed by pressing on the "to" button.
solution: use sim manager to save contacts to the phonebook
hope u find it helpful

that is what i was gonna say "life owner" you are correct according to the problem i had

i will NOT do that if i were you...
that would only make the predictive list double the names you have...
(Or you could delete the contacts in your simcard after you copied)
if you played with the options
in the Settings->Input->Word Completion.
i would suggest a hard reset
if you did the above and no changes was reflected.

thank god, someone agreeing this issues does exist and its not something i'm doing...
Although, typing a space after the first character, then deleting it does not bring up the auto complete.
But.. i did install "htc dual keyboard + keypad", which i will remove now to see if functionality returns..
Also.. my contacts are stored on the Phone, not the sim.
Cheers for your suggestions guys, i'll keep u updated...
Dickie
UPDATE - Removed "htc dual keyboard + keypad" and functionality is restored.... what exactly does this program do? if its supposed to skin the touch screen keyboard, it never worked for me anyway...
Cheers Guys!

"htc dual keyboard + keypad" give you big numbers and letters button (the idea is to allow you not to use stylus and use your thumb to type) AND it also give predictive english words feature.. and i guess it cannot co exist with the predictive contact feature of sms... i guess this is the most logical explanation... for me anyway

actually it's not an issue regarding auto-complete...
htc dual keyboard+keypad is filtering your input and displays it's own "one-liner" prediction and thus the default system Auto Word Completion doesnt kick in.
and it doesnt matter to the default auto-complete if it's in the phone or in the sim card... if you have two copies of one item... it will list double.
it's not an SMS problem... it's a program glitch(feature?). haha...

Hi I have the same problem.
i removed htc dual keyboard and its still not working!
do i need to enable some options some wherE?
Thanks

try to do what silver samurai suggested, the setting may have been changed:
start > settings > personal > input > word completion > place a tick mark on "suggest words when entering text"

I tried that and it didn't work.
Thanks

Touch-it 4.4

I have tried to search with no luck. My question is when i installed touchit 4.4 i do not have any of the pop up menu's IE when making a text and i start typing the persons name or a word it never pops up suggestions. With over 200 contacts i would like to have the short option to type in 3 letters or so and select the contact from the actual Sms screen. Another thing is when i goto create new (msg) i dont get the option to do MMS or SMS. Lastly off the top of my head when i am typing words i like the option with suggestions again. Can anybody either point me to the proper settings or registry keys to re-enable these features. Also i noticed when i put touch it on my phone all of my contacts are doubled now ? how can i fix this without manually deleting them all

1. I havent seached for a fix as far as typing input for SMS recipients, I have just gotten use to clicking menu and adding someone from my contacts instead of typing there name.
2. If you put messaging on your today screen, click on the no unread messages bar and it will take you to the messaging center to pick MMS,SMS, email account.
3. I did think the wings OEM text suggestion program was great, Ive gotten use to not using it with 4.4. Tho if you use the virtual keyboard the program is still enabled.
I dont know if any of this will be a fix for you, it is alil info. There might be things you have to get use to not having with Touch, but be glad you have more than 14mb of memory.
Also, for the duplicate contacts, I would just make sure all your numbers are embedded on your sim card, then select all from your contacts and delete them. Open SIM manager from programs, select all from menu and save all to contacts.

Yes true maybe someone can find the registry keys to enable it, Speaking of registry besides the lame attempt at wiki of a good solid registry hack,tweak mod guide does anybody have a better site while i was Out of town visiting over xmas i stumbled accross a site that offered so many registry hacks but i didnt book mark it
Also a few more questions i get really mad that the Wing does not allow lets say .mid .gif etc files in MMS's is there a way to disable automatic file deletion in mms? sorry if this doesnt make much sense just worked 14 hrs.

you can just write your contact's name (or part of their name) and then go to "menu" and click on "check names".
This should be easier than going through your contacts.

typing a name and then going thru menu is more steps than just clicking add recipent and clicking the contact you want.
I dont know any other registry sites.

new contact enter First and Family name

I own a HD2. When I wish to add a new contact, say, John Smith, I click on the NEW CONTACT icon and then a windows appear. In this windows I have 3 blank field:
- Name:
- Company:
- File as:
I enter John Smith: but I wish to have a sub-field called: 'First name' and the select it for 'John' and another sub-field called 'Family name' and put in it 'Smith'
how to do?
Thanks
Saulo

I am sure there is such an option, to select a sub-field...I once opened this but some kind of gesture (maybe double click or long-click on a certain area of the screen...I cannot duplicate that gesture now.
Can someone please help or suggest?
Saulo

I read the manual at page 102: there is no explanation on how to select independently First Name and Family name fields on middle name field.
The way I do now is to
- sync with outlook 2010
- re-edit the contact on my outlook
- re-sync again with my HD2
But of course this is time consuming...
Thanks and waiting
Sauli

strange that you don't have first and last name fields,,, does your new contact tab not look like mine?
EDIT oh wait, you are using the windows mobile new contact, not sense new contact.

Hallo Sam
Right, I do not have your screen. I have a simplified one with only 3 areas:
Name
Company
Fle as
Any suggestions?
Saulo

I have dutch version, but I manage with following:
Windows key > Outlook > Contacts > new
Then on the name field there is a small triangle (seet screenshot) this will open a sub-screen where you may enter all information.
Note I have downloades Mobile Office 2010, perhaps that is causing this.
...
So I am not using HTC_Contacts....

Thanks a lot!
I now understand that my problem is that I use HTC sense...Probably if I download microsoft Office 2010 Mobile, as you did, it will disable HTC sense, (which does not allow for name sub-fields). Can you suggest me the link for it?
Thank you!
Saulo

I have downloaded and installed Office 2010 including outlook...but still HTC sense prevails and when I click outlook > new contact HTC contacts shows up...
Conclusion: I need to disable HTC Contact...any suggestion?
Thank you!
Saulo

You should push the windows key, then outlook 2010, then contacts (the Blue Icon).
Not Sense contacts, more.... that's sense contacts, there you miss the fields you want.
If you have CHT, you could make a quicklink to contacts, the "blue Icon" is what you're looking for, not the "greyish Rolodex card".

Thanks for your support
That is exactly what I do: I click on windows key (I have unistalled HTC Manila) and then on Office Mobile 2010 folder icon: inside there is NO Outlook.
There is another folder icon, called "Outlook". If I click inside I can see:
- Contacts (a yellow icon)
- Notes (green background icon)
- Tasks (red)
- Calendar (blu blackground)
I click on Outlook (Yellow icon), then NEW > then the follow two screen appears...
Do you a way to unistall completely HTC Contact ?
Thanks
Saulo

OK,
I notice you have e t-mobile branded phone.
They have a tendency to screw around bending things to their own taste..... (as does vodafone BTW). Mine is unbranded.
I am afraid I cannot help you as T-Mobile seems to have F**ED around with Outlook.....
Sorry mate.

Any suggestions about how to fully disable HTC Contacts?
Thanks a lot!
Saulo

Yes it is t-mobile, but since the second day I have hard reset and installed a cooked ROM (I cannot recollect which one), so it now as any unbranded one.
Obviosly I could try different cooked ROM, but I have too many software installed, I prefer to try to Disable HTC first.
have a nice day
Saulo

no more suggestions about disabling HTC Contacts skin?
Saulo

I just installed the Enery Rom (loving it BTW), and behold: same screen you have.
as a side note if you installed a custom rom, why is it still branded with t-mobile?
Normally branding disappears when flashing a new rom. T-mobile is printed on Phone.... it's the colour that threw me off (in combination with print on top )
As an alternative:
Could you do following:
Goto home screen, slide to contacts, select all people, new
pls post screen.

Sorry for you it is not that way.
Perhaps you should try flashing another ROM?
I am using energy diniks glass from sptember 18th

I know, but I cannot change ROM now, since I have too many software installed and it would require too much time to re-install them.
I remember an utility caled BsB Tweaks: can it disable HTC?
There is another utility I forgot the name, which is powerful and probably contains some tweaks to kill any residual HTC applications, including HTC contacts...can somebody remind me?
Thanks
Saulo

found the answer:
when in edit mode put your cursor in the field "Name" and hit the "Enter" key.
